Detailed construction instructions...

Equipment

The PEAR program has used three generations of random event generators, with different primary sources of white noise, but important common features of design. The original "benchmark" experiment used a commercial random source developed by Elgenco, Inc., the core of which is proprietary. Elgenco's engineering staff describe the proprietary module as "solid state junctions with precision pre-amplifiers," implying processes that rely on quantum tunneling to produce an unpredictable, broad-spectrum white noise in the form of low-amplitude voltage fluctuations. The PEAR Portable REG uses Johnson noise in resistors, which is so-called "thermal noise" and is also a quantum level phenomenon that produces a well-behaved broad-spectrum fluctuation. The PEAR Micro-REG uses a field effect transistor (FET) for the primary noise source, again relying on quantum tunneling, and providing completely uncorrelated fundamental events that compound to an unpredictable voltage fluctuation.

In all cases, the design begins with white noise, for example in the PEAR Portable REG, a flat spectrum +/- 1 db from 1100 Hz to 30 KHz. A low end cutoff at 1000 Hz eliminates frequencies at and below the data-sampling rate. This filtering, together with appropriate amplification and clipping, produces an approximate square wave with unpredictable temporal variation. Sampling at a constant 1 KHz rate is typical, although special sources have been constructed allowing higher rates (up to 2 MHz). Analog and digital processes are completely isolated by alternating these operations to exclude contamination of the analog noise train by digital pulses. To eliminate biases of the mean that might arise from such environmental stresses as temperature change or component aging, an exclusive or (XOR) mask is applied to the digital data stream. This is either an alternating 1/0 pattern or a more complex mask comprising an array of all bytes with equal occurrence of 1/0. Both exclude bias of the mean, in principle, and the latter also excludes all short-lag bit-to-bit and byte-to-byte autocorrelations. Finally, data for the PEAR experiments are recorded as "trials" that are the sum of N samples (e. g., 200 bits) from the primary sequence, thus further mitigating any residual short-lag autocorrelations. The result is a data sequence that conforms to the appropriate theoretical binomial distribution and to its normal approximation.

The final output of the PEAR devices is a sequence of bytes presented to the computer's serial port, which are then formed into a sequence of trials (typically sums of 200 bits), generated at 1 per second. Calibrations on all of the devices show behavior that closely models theoretical expectations for mean, variance, skew and kurtosis.

So as far as I can tell, you pay a monthly fee to "rent" your music. I understand DRM is evil but at least I own the digital files I download off of iTunes.

Even more importantly, "Napster's service uses Microsoft's Janus technology to enable DRM protected music files." If iPod was going to use Janus, would it have to change its name to iAnus? I think this Napster campaign is just FUD. There are more important problems with Apple to be concerned about than this. For example, did you know that "Apple Computers promote Godless Darwinism and Communism"? You can read the entire article by Dr. Richard Paley (a teacher of Divinity and Theobiology at Fellowship University) here. A true eye opener. The real important question is, should such subliminal propaganda be legal? (Disclaimer: iANAL)

Here is a Coral Cache of the images page.

I found that Coral Cache works:

Coralised. I think I got it in time.

Let's use the coral cache, since the server already seems to be working hard enough. Loads really fast... I'm surprised slashdot doesn't run all the links in articles through coral servers.

I had NYUD mirror the site before it got slashdotted:

Perhaps people should start using the Coral to coralized things like what I think you're talking about.

The gif truly is amazing. I found it in someone's sig last week and was blown away.

Davyd Madeley's page (coral cache) shows a cute overview of the new features that you can't see at all in those stupid screenshots.

I wandered down to the Apple Store in London last Sunday and came back with the base Mac Mini and am extremely impressed with it, this being my first foray into the Mac world.

Anyway, having just looked at the accessories (Coral link as the original is /.ed) I wouldn't pick up any of them, they look a bit crap and the Grandstand appears to be the only one with any use and then only if you have very limited desk space.

From the story title I was hoping for something a bit morethan bent plastic/metal.

Here is the story as a coral cache. I could only get the first page to cache propery before the slashdotting. This Print link might work however.

Deceased woman named in file-sharing suit

By Toby Coleman
Staff writer

Gertrude Walton of Fayette County hated computers, her daughter said.

That did not stop the recording industry from accusing the now deceased 83-year-old Mount Hope woman of illegally trading music over the Internet.

More than a month after Walton was buried in Beckley, a group of record companies named her as the only defendant in a federal lawsuit. They claimed Walton made more than 700 pop, rock and rap songs available for free on the Internet under the screen name "smittenedkitten."
- advertisement-

On Thursday, a spokesman for the Recording Industry Association of America acknowledged that Walton was probably not the smittenedkitten it is searching for.

"Our evidence gathering and our subsequent legal actions all were initiated weeks and even months ago," said RIAA spokesman Jonathan Lamy. "We will now, of course, obviously dismiss this case."

Walton's daughter, Robin Chianumba, lived with her mother for the last 17 years of her life and said her mother objected to having a computer in the house. Chianumba said she didn't know anything about the record company's claims. And she said she does not know anything about the screen name.

"My mother was computer illiterate. She hated a computer," Chianumba said. "My mother wouldn't know how to turn on a computer."

The case demonstrates the imperfections of the record industry's two-year old effort to hunt down and sue people who put hundreds, even thousands, of copyrighted songs onto file-sharing networks on the Internet.

The industry tracks down file-swappers using the Internet Protocol addresses attached to their relatively anonymous screen names.

The IP addresses are useful because they identify computers on the Internet. But investigators cannot use the numeric codes to figure out who is using a particular computer. Often, they can only use the IP address to learn who is getting billed for the computer's Internet service.

Slashdotters mainly use Windows and GNU/Linux. Some of them use a Mac. There are small percentages of slashdotters who use FreeBSD and Solaris. Very few brave adventurous slashdotters run IBM AIX and NetBSD.

Windows slashdotters use primarily the WinXP version, but also Win2000. Some of them still use the good old Win98. Some brave slashdotters use Win2003.

Slashdotters primarily use the Firefox Web browser, but some of them still use MSIE. Some slashdotters prefer Mozilla and few of them run Safari and Konqueror. Few brave slashdotters use textbrowsers or even Lotus Notes as a web browser. There are still slashdotters who run Netscape 4, and some Firefox slashdotters who haven't upgraded to 1.0.

It is interesting to note that not all Mac-loving slashdotters (6%) use Safari (3.5%).

L4-Hurd is pretty nifty, I think. Of course I run Gentoo and whatnot personally for the usability aspects, but I've been following the L4-Hurd port for a while now and this is an amazing little bit of news.

I can't wait to start experimenting with the new features. This is really cool.

Here's a coral cache link to the HurdOnL4 Wiki page which I set up last summer. It's slightly out of date, but provides a lot of background behind whats going on and some basic information about the build and boot process.

When you retrieve the CVS sources, read the README and all the docs because they contain the most up-to-date information available about building the system.

The books homepage, http://www-cs-faculty.stanford.edu/~knuth/taocp.ht ml offers the fascicle for download for free. http://www-cs-faculty.stanford.edu/~knuth/fasc1.ps .gz You can still get $2.56 for each bug found, I believe.

(Karma whoring accusers: Look at the UID. Statistically speaking, it is likely I've been capped since before you had an account.)
